Moments Worth Listening For
The way the bassline in 'It’s a Steal' locks into a hypnotic, Northern Soul-inspired groove under the dry guitar stabs.
The sudden shift into a sprawling, seven-minute psychedelic exploration on the title track closing the album.
The contrast between the upbeat, danceable tempo of 'Who Is It?' and the raw, desperate edge in the vocal delivery.
